Ipod touch and itunes sync

ok...I now have a Mac Pro Notebook. I want to get allllllll of my songs into my itunes library. However, it will only sync the songs "purchased" on my ipod. How do I get them all from my ipod touch without having to download to a jump drive from my old computer then dropping into my new Mac?

The following post will provide you with some options:

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there. However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually. Can I still add stuff onto my two devices? And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only? Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices? Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

Morning @mb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
Music imported from a CD or another source
iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.
Best of luck,

My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

Difference between free space reported by my iPod Touch and iTunes

Why is so different the free space reported by my iPod Touch and iTunes?, which of both devices is reporting the correct free space?
also, I restored my iPod two days ago because "other" space was too big (almost a gig),
three days later, is over 500Mb, why is this happening?, thanks.
On the pic you can see the difference between the free space reported by my iPod (403 MB) and iTunes (0.29Gb)

I took the pic when I finished syncing, so that shouldn't be an issue, no matter how many times I sync, free space is never equal (iPod always reports more space).
I'm running iOS 5.0.1 and I restored three days ago because iTunes said I was out of space to sync (and my iPod reported over 100Mb free).
As you can see from the pic, I only have 9 apps, I mainly use this iPod for music. I'm using the AAC option to fit more songs.
I really like this iPod, but as a music player. I had a first generation iPod Touch and "other" space never was an issue, I still have warranty, but I don't know if I should take this iPod to the store because of this, because it seems to be a software issue.
Just deleted my emails from the iPod and gained 10 Mb, I don't know what else can I do.

101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.
Let me know what you are running.

IPod Touch and iTunes Will Not Work Together.

I just received a new iPod Touch 32GB yesterday and have had nothing but troubles trying to get it to play nicely with iTunes. The Touch is currently version 1.1.5/4B1 (I believe updated to this sometime yesterday).
I am running iTunes v. 7.7.1 (11). When I connect the Touch to my iMac with iTunes running (even though I have it checked, just plugging the Touch in does not open iTunes) nothing happens for a long time and then I get a spinning beach ball which I have let go on for more than 20 minutes at one time.
The Touch and iTunes work fine independently. The last two times after force quitting iTunes, I have received the following error: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone (??) "" because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000035).
Does anyone know what this error is, & how do I resolve these issues?
<Edited by Moderator>

At least atm -
I have re-installed iTunes after restarting the iMac and then restarted again, the Touch connected and showed right away after that and I am happily, currently syncing.
If it goes bottoms up again, I'll be back!

IPod Touch and iPhone - Syncing both on the same computer

Is there any reason I would have a problem syncing both my ipod touch and a new iphone on the same computer? I want to have all of my music on both. My iphone arrives today and wanted to avoid any major issues.
Thanks -

Normally I would recommend this...
Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
However, I don't think you get the show artwork option for the iPhone, correct?
Cheers,
Patrick

I have been using iPod touch and iTunes with Windows XP - no problems. I now have a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to sync the iPod with Windows 7 and iTunes it will not transfer all my photographs. What can I do?

When I tried to sync my iPod Touch with my new computer none of the photographs were synced. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. When I did it the first time the photographs were all muddled up in their albums. When I tried to sync again the photographs were all removed. On the third try I received an error message something like 'Unable to sync photographs program cannot be found.' Can anyone help. (It may be to do with Windows 7 and Libraries??)

Did you already try to delete the photo cache? iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

I have an IPod touch and Itunes established on my computer. Can I add my new IPhone4S to my existing ITunes and share libraries? How do I add the phone?

I have an established ITunes account using my IPod Touch. How do I add my new IPhone 4S to my account and share my libraries between both devices?

Plug it in and sync it.
You can sync as many iphones/ipods/ipads as you like to one computer.

Hi all,
I've found the solution in another thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11296350#11296350
It's oviously a problem of iTunes 9.1, which does not seem to fin the syncserver. exe or some of its dependent files.
User icefoxxxx showed me how to solve the problem. Anyway, Apple has to fix this, many people will have the problem:

you won't believe how I fixed it... my syncserver.exe can't run because some dll is missing, but I notice the dll is in another folder "Apple Application Support". So I copied all files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
over to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
and it solves everything!
Obviously there is something wrong in registering the former folder by the new itunes installation program. Hope next version fixes it.

IPod touch and mail syncing

I thought I saw a video on Apple's site showing that you could organize mail on the touch and it would show those changes on your computer. For example, if I delete a message on the touch, it will be deleted on my computer. Is this possible? It seems kind of redundant to have to go through the same messages twice. Thanks for any help with this issue.

You can try this to see. Plug your iPod touch in the computer. When iTunes pops up and you're on the iPod preference screen, click info. Scroll down to the Mail section and check to sync your e-mail. After that's done, go to the Mail app on your iPod touch. It should display the inbox. There is a button on the upper left that says Mailbox. You're folders should be synced (not sure about Smart Folders, but I think it should).

2G iPod Touch and .Mac Sync - won't do it anymore

Hello!
I bought my new, second-gen iPod touch just after they came out. When it got here, I set it up for syncing contacts, calenders, mail, etc with dotMac (or Mobile Me technically). It did indeed work just fine.
Then, I managed to freeze the iPod up, and it needed a restore. During the restore sync, iTunes copied all the data from the backup over to the iPod, including all the contacts and such - but since then, I cannot sync. Both the iPod and the Mac seem to have the correct Mobile Me settings, and it seems that it shouldn't have a problem. Indeed, the Mac (my MacBook Pro) syncs events just fine to the .Mac servers, such that I can access them online. Yet, calender entries won't sync from my computer to the iPod or vise versa. Yes, the iPod has a internet connection - safari can access the web just fine (as can the App Store, iTunes, etc)
I tried resetting, power cycling, erasing the Mobile Me settings and re-entering them, and even another restore - none of these worked.
What can I do to reset the sync system, and make the iPod sync again?
-Dan
